Craft Club Challenge - 25th February 2013

A gift of a bag!

I'm toning down the arty stuff this week... just slightly, as the inky fingers need a bit of time to recover!

This weeks challenge is to create a gift bag and fill it with something special, one of mine will be filled with a cookie recipe...in a bag (all the ingredients weighed and placed in one bag, just add an egg and a bit of milk mix and cut out your cookies) A great little gift and so easy to do.

Criteria:

You will need

• x1 piece of card 4.5" x 4.5"
• x1 piece of decorative paper 5.5" x 11" (printed double sided gives the inside of the bag a great look!)
• contrasting card stock for decorating the bag I have used the same coloured card stock as the base and you can add in a second colour.
• Double sided tape
• PVA glue
• Pencil, ruler and scoring tool
• Accessories to decorate the bag.

 I will demonstrate how to create the bag at the Craft Club this week and, of course, if you are still feeling arty please feel free to print your own paper and make a totally original bag.

 The sizes above are a gauge and can be made smaller or larger depending on the bag required and as a keen recycler you my also like to try using old road maps, music paper, old books or even newspaper.

Here are a few more I have made:

 Have a great week of crafting and catch up with me on twitter or facebook.
